Rationalizations of the Right Wing American

The conservative Republican and Teapartier specializes in the simultaneous holding of incompatible beliefs and attitudes. Normally this would cause psychological conflict -- cognitive dissonance -- yet rightwingers frequently explain away or avoid new information or convince themselves that no conflict really exists. What are some examples that you can summarize in a brief statement? Let's try to identify actual commonly-spouted beliefs or talking points or rightwing "universal truths" -- not candidate flip-flops. Maybe we can develop a comprehensive list!

I'll start off with a couple...

- "Liberals are unemployed." vs. "Unionized workers are liberals."

- Republican donors: A bunch of people who HAVE EVERYTHING complaining about the supposed 47% of Americans who are just TAKERS.
